Dungeon Siege Review at The Gamers Temple

A site called The Gamers Temple has kicked up a Dungeon Siege review. The writer offers a score of 85%, although it is noted that the game doesn't have a lot of replay value:

Another of Dungeon Siege's innovative features is its skill and class (or rather lack thereof) system. When creating a character at the beginning of the game, the player just needs to select the name, sex, and look of his/her character. That's it - there is no attribute or skill, or even class, selection. Dungeon Siege takes the very practical approach that your characters will improve in the skills they actually use. Want a mage? Then just have the character keep casting spells until he or she gets good at it. Similarly, those who concentrate on melee combat will find their strength increasing at a faster rate than that of other characters. Stat freaks might beg to differ, but it is a simple and common-sense approach to character advancement that works quite well. The downside to this system, though, is that it hurts the game's replay value. There is no motivation to try to beat the game again using a different character class to experience it in a different way.

Gas Powered Games' Dungeon Siege takes place in the Kingdom of Ehb, where the forces of darkness are massing to destroy the human realm. Spotted at our Dungeon Siege Vault. - Pipeline
